Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar Museum of Modern Art in Pamplona

Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar was born in Pamplona on August 23, 1922 and died in Bogota on August 24, 2004, our artist was winner of the National Salon of Artists of Colombia.

One of the protagonists of artistic constructivism, his conceptual abstraction based on intellectual anarchy, is affected in a historical way, by the turbulent political life of the country. He began as a figurative painter in the field of expressionism in 1950. Later he made murals of a purist design considering emptiness as material truth.

His sculpture works began around 1960, following the line of geometrism initiated a decade before by Hugo Martinez Gonzalez, and with it he achieved figuration in several countries of America. He was characterized above all by his exigency and spiritual rigor, characteristics that defined him as a bold but personally shy person. His works constitute a testimony of assimilation and reaction to the environment that surrounded him, to later translate it into value judgments taking them to a utopian solution in an effort of aesthetic order.

His ashes rest in the Ramírez Villamizar Museum of Modern Art in the city of Pamplona. Most of his small and medium-sized works are concentrated in the museum that bears his name.

Cariongo Plaza Hotel, the best hotel in Pamplona, in collaboration with the Ramirez Villamizar Museum, exhibits original works of the master every month in its lobby and invites its guests to admire the legacy of one of the artists who proudly hoist our land nationally and internationally.
